History of the Journal
npj Primary Care Respiratory Medicine started life as the newsletter of the UK’s ‘GPs in Asthma Group’ (the precursor of the Primary Care Respiratory Society UK). In 1996, a new editorial team was assembled under the leadership of Mark Levy to turn the newsletter into Primary Care Respiratory Journal (PCRJ). Over the next decade the journal developed rapidly in both influence and academic standing and in 2001 became the official journal of the newly-formed International Primary Care Respiratory Group (IPCRG). In February 2006 the PCRJ was awarded full PubMed/Medline indexing. Mark Levy retired as Editor-in-Chief of the PCRJ in December 2010, after a very successful 15 years in charge of the journal.
